New American Standard ANSI/AISC 360-16 for Steel Member Design

The new instance of the American standard ANSI/AISC 360-16 has been implemented.

Note: The former standards ANSI/AISC 360-05 and ANSI/AISC 360-10 remain available in the program, which enables the use of these codes independently. Besides, past projects that were defined with the former codes can still be used.

See Steel Code ANSI/AISC (USA).

New Canadian Standard CAN/CSA-S16-14 for Steel Member Design

The new instance of the Canadian standard CAN/CSA-S16-14 has been implemented.

Note: The former standards CAN/CSA-S16.1-94, CAN/CSA-S16-01 + Supp. No.1 (2005), and CAN/CSA-S16-09 remain available in the program, which enables the use of these codes independently. Besides, past projects that were defined with the former code can still be used.
